I thought you were saying that the mayor of Portland was wearing an inflatable skeleton costume and now I am worried about myself.

When I titled this story, it didn’t occur to me how funny it would be to see person after person post “Have You Looked In the Couch?”

I’ve been making mixes since 1991 and they remind me a lot of who I was and what I was doing at that point in my life. This one is notable because I was listening to so many current hits. I just looked at one from 1995 that started with PDQ Bach, a song from Pocahontas, and Donovan.

Apparently I DO want to discuss. This is the contents of my mix tape from that era.

A screenshot from Spotify. The songs listed are:
Down by 311
King of New Orleans by Better Than Ezra
Whoever You Are by Geggy Tah
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Nicki French
That Thing You Do! by The Wonders
Mouth by Merril Bainbridge
C'mon N' Ride It (The Train) by Quad City DJ's
Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers
Go All The Way by The Raspberries

TIL the band’s name came from the band’s respective baby sisters being unable to pronounce “Greg” and “Todd”.

srah @quesrah.bsky.social · 3d

I don’t want to discuss. I just want to bask. Good ol’ Geggy Tah.

Alice Cooper was also good friends with Groucho Marx. Oh, the moustaches he’s seen…

It costs more to buy a Heinz ketchup Halloween costume than a generic ketchup Halloween costume, which i think is wrong because it’s free advertising for @kraftheinz.bsky.social.

Subsidize my Halloween costume, you cowards!
